Earlier this week, news broke that grunge progenitors and independent rock and roll legends Mudhoney would be playing a string of East Coast sideshows, in conjunction with their spot on the Big Day Out 2014 tour, and the band themselves have now confirmed this glorious news!

Bearing influence over everyone from Nirvana to The Datsuns, Mudhoney first made heads turn as the it-band of legendary Seattle record label Sub Pop, cemented themselves as formidable songsmiths with their debut, Superfuzz Bigmuff, and now stand as elder statesmen of rock.

The explosion of grunge is now but a tome in the annals of rock history, but Mudhoney are still a live band to be reckoned with. They’ll be touring on the strength of their most recent album, Vanishing Point, which the band unveiled earlier this year, receiving acclaim for its tongue-in-cheek humour.

While the boys will be playing their first Big Day Out since 1993, those looking to catch them in a more intimate setting can grab tickets to one of the sideshows, which kick off at Zoo in Brisbane on Saturday, 18th January before shows at Melbourne’s Corner Hotel and Sydney’s Oxford Art Factory.
